THE BUZZ: A new episode of the official Assassin’s Creed podcast has been released. Hosted by EscoBlades and UbiDiiLite, and powered by Ubisoft, this episode looks at the single-player game mechanics of Assassin’s Creed Revelations such as combat and the new den defense mini-game.

EGM’s TAKE: It’s always nice to listen to a fresh perspective on game mechanics as they could spot something that you haven’t.

Matthew Bennett finally got his big break with EGM three years ago, following years of volunteer work for various sites. An ability to go many hours without sleep and a quick wit make him ideal for his role as associate editor at EGMNOW.com. He often thinks back to the days when the very idea of this career seemed like nothing but an impossible dream. Follow him on Twitter @mattyjb89. Meet the rest of the crew.
